How do you sort things in Cantonese... Why does it feel different from the sorting in Chinese...

Grammar:

The difference between Cantonese grammar and modern standard Chinese is mainly reflected in the order of words and sentences, function words, adverbs, some adjectives, particles and their placement, which are complex and indispensable. Mood particles are also a feature of Cantonese. Cantonese grammar features include inversion, parallel verb body, emphasis, quantifier usage, adverbial sentences, modal particles, etc. The most obvious one is inversion, for example, "blame" in northern dialect is written as "无blai de", "无blai zhi de" or "kuai bu zhi de" in Cantonese. Another example is "I left first" in Northern dialect, which is "I go first" or "I go first" in Cantonese. The northern Chinese word for "rooster" is "rooster" in Cantonese.

Standard Cantonese/Cantonese Cantonese retains many ancient pronunciations. Cantonese retains many ancient words and meanings, and the wording is quaint. Moreover, many words in Cantonese, including modal particles, can be directly read in ancient Chinese classics. Find the source. In northern Chinese dialects, these ancient words have been abandoned or rarely used. Cantonese retains grammatical items such as postpositioning and inversion of modifying elements. Moreover, modern Cantonese still has a high tendency to use monosyllabic words that were dominant in ancient Chinese. Some words and expressions that are considered popular by Cantonese speakers can find their origins in ancient books.
